Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Byfield, MA.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
